Hmmmmm, there are few things that have divided opinion quite like the new SA!

The later 2007 models have the larger applied wings too. (Both mine do, but I guess Breitling just haven't updated the "fitting" site or the Chronologs).

Ahh, I thought the wings were bigger again on the new one!

I don't think so......, but I'm prepared to stand corrected if they are! :)

The new Batons are sweet, but like others have stated, both dials arabic and batons will be available.

This Red Ocean Racer looks awesome on the new white dial. Took these two pics last week.

Both models are pleasing to the eye...but nonetheless will both have the reliabilty of Breitling behind them, it seems as though the Arabic numbering tends to make it look like too much is going on..like the 10 gets cut off...perhaps its personal opinion. Will the new SA have white subdials?

No, it has the same subdial color as the dial. You can see the blue one in the gallery ("All blue" thread). Gives the dial a more balanced / classy look if you ask me, maybe less "sporty" though...

Well I must admit, the new model on the red ocean racer looks amazing!!
Maybe it's growing on me now :shock:
Bere - where did you get the red strap? I never knew they made it in red!

I think it is new from this year. You should be able to get it from your AD.

I´m with you Driver8, too much color and a bit girlie - not that the whole combo is girlie, but the color fits a woman better than a man IMHO.

Also, SA´s should have bracelets on them, not rubber! ;)

Having seen the red in the flesh it is rather 'intense'. Not sure that it would work with your Chronomat aleister as it's much brighter. Now if it was the same colour as the dial I can see that working - this is just too bright (at least for me).
